There are many different ways of getting involved with XR, though! You can see other options at https://rebellion.earth/join-us.
For an introduction to XR, online training and a guide to finding your place in the Movement, go to https://uk.rebellion.academy.
Most of the roles advertised on this site are organising ones. Whilst XR has had organisers arrested this has been uncommon and usually of very high-profile people. Less obvious organisers, such as those arranging arrestee support, have not been arrested. Whilst arrest is always a possibility it is unlikely if you are not on site and not a leading organiser.

Not necessarily! If you have created a profile Groups can see the details you entered and so may contact you directly for roles they think you might be suitable for. But we encourage you to apply for roles to maximise your chances!
The roles do not have application deadlines in the way a paid job would - the post stays open until it is filled. Sometimes things move quickly so if you like the look of a role it is best to apply as soon as you can!
The Group you’ve applied to may get back to you right away or it may take a little time.To see what is happening with your applications go to your user homepage (‘My Account’) and click “my applications” in the menu on the left. Here you can see their status.
If the Group has accepted you they will get in touch with you using the contact details you’ve provided to talk to you about the next steps. Please hide your profile and withdraw from any other roles you have applied for to save our hard-working Groups from trying to contact you when you are no longer available.Hide profile: log in to your account, click ‘my profile’ in the left-hand menu, scroll to the bottom of the page and untick the box which says ‘profile active’. Withdraw role application: log in to your account, click ‘my applications’ and then click on the bin icon against any that are showing status ‘pending’ or ‘under review’.
No, you can apply for several roles at once. However, if you are selected for a role and so are no longer available, please remember to hide your profile and withdraw from any other roles you have applied for (see “What happens if I am offered a role?” above).
